Apparently, We're all screwed:
http://the-end.com/2008GodsFinalWitness/?gclid=CJTbqP2-spACFQ66PAodjCjiMg
From now until the latter part of 2008, many prophecies are going to begin to be fulfilled, especially the Seven Thunders of the Book of Revelation, which the apostle John saw but was restricted from recording. Those thunders are revealed in this book, as well as detailed accounts of the final three and one-half years of man's self-rule on earth, which are recorded in the account of the Seventh Seal of Revelation.
Some of these prophecies concern the demise of the United States over the next year, which will be followed by man's final world war. This last war will be the result of clashing religions and the governments they sway. Billions will die! This time will far exceed even the very worst times in all human history.
As these events unfold, the world will increasingly become aware of the authenticity of the words in this book and realize that Ronald Weinland has been sent by God as His end-time prophet.
This book is primarily directed to the people of the three major religions of the world (Islam, Judaism and Christianity), whose roots are in the God of Abraham. Ronald Weinland has been sent to all three. |
Wasn't sure whether to post this in the religion thread, the general skepticism thread, or the humor thread. Apparently, the world is going to be over with by the end of next year. Thought it would be fun to check back with the author next year :-)

| This sounds great! I have to start working on my city exit strategy, stock up on weapons and canned goods, learn how to gut a deer, make a fire without matches, build and igloo and so on. Shoot. I guess I'll have to quit my job to get more time for prepping for the End. On the other hand, I could always get raptured... you never know. Or has that already happened? With the folks I hang with, I'd never know it. |

From the free book:
It is now with boldness, confidence and great clarity that I give to
you what God has given me. I am to announce, through God's
direct revelation, that I am one of those two witnesses. The other
witness will be revealed to the world during the time of the great
tribulation—within the final three and one-half years of man's era.
During that period of time, we will, together, completely fulfill all
that God has given us to witness to this whole earth. Then, at the
end, we will die in the streets of Jerusalem; and finally, exactly
three and one-half days later, we will be resurrected (Revelation
11). The world will see this resurrection via television. At this
same time Jesus Christ will appear in the heavens above the earth
as He is returning to take the reigns of man's government on earth.
All this will be explained more fully later in this book. |

| Weinland reads like a nut case who is probably estatic about the end of times. Probably piddles all over himself just thinking about Rapture. Much like me when I think about Deborah Harry too long. |

| And no offense to people named "Ronald Wineland" but if you're going to be the final great prophet ushering in the End Times, don't you think God would have given you a cooler name? |

Oh, goody! Another one!
Guess it's time to add him to the list.
"Nothing lasts forever." I think just about everyone would agree with that. Whether it's a mountain, a mole-hill, a distant star or the Twinky that's been lodged in the back-seat of your dad's Buick since 1967, all things eventually fade and are no more. As impermanent beings, we know and ungracefully accept this fact. One day, the end will come for our friends, our family, our neighbors, our IRS auditors, and even for ourselves. Yes, even the world itself will one day stop spinning on its familiar axis and its property value on the open market will plummet.
The question is, "When?"
That's a toughie for a lot of people. On the one hand, according to science, our planet has a good five billion years before the warrantee on our sun runs out. At which point, it will expand to a Red Giant, engulfing Earth and the other inner planets and become far more cost-effective to replace than repair. Especially when one considers that the entire Universe only has a scant ohh, fifteen, sixteen trillion years to expand beyond all conceivable reason before it runs out of steam and starts collapsing back in on itself. Much like the current US economy.
Science also has shown us that the formation of the Universe was a messy business that left quite a bit of litter behind in the form of giant ice balls and big, nasty rocks; many of which have the unfortunate habit of crashing into our planet uninvited and at highly inconvenient times. A fact the dinosaurs know about only too well... or would have, if there were any still alive... and had brains larger than a throat lozenge... which they're not and they didn't... so, forget I even brought it up. Anyway, the point is, however long our planet has, we as a species might get dusted as early as tomorrow afternoon - somewhere around tea time - should a large enough chunk of space litter choose that moment to come barging rudely into our atmosphere.
On the other hand, there's God's Wrath: In the theory favored by those whose idea of the Universe is a small, cramped space consisting primarily of ghosties and ghoulies and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night, the world ought to be coming to a screeching halt any day now. So imminent is the End, in fact, that you may not even get to finish reading this sentence before being either whisked away to glamorous Paradise or plunged into Eternal Damnation. Assuming you're still with me, let me make clear that the supporters of this concept are all absolutely sure that Armageddon is at hand and that we are living in the very Last Days. The signs are all there, they say, the omens and portents are in place, the numbers are right and all the USDA prime grade prophecies are coming true. No doubt about it, the End is seriously nigh. So, ha-ha to everyone who just had their car washed.

Whilest y'all are stockpiling ammunition and hoarding canned goods, as I've been doing for years anyway, and getting the Cannibal's Cookbook on order, enjoy this site. The world is filled with whacked-out goobers and I'm convinced that if there should be a God, that deity created then just for amusment. His as well as ours.

The only thing that scares me about End of the World Prophecies is the fact that some politicians seem obsessed about fullfilling them. Those would be "self-fulfilled prophecies" and have nothing prophetic about them.
It´s like me stating that the prophecy says that a lot of children will die the 25th of December, then I go out that day and kill a bunch of children and ... There! The prophec was true! |

hey, filthy, is that guy for real? Some times, the line between good satire and the real thing gets a bit blurry...  |

He writes it in a humorous vein but historically, he's accurate. All of the less-than-balanced people he covers existed and behaved pretty much as shown. I've researched a little of it.
I think that he tries to yak it up too much in spots, but it's still a fun read/study.
